GOD CALLS THE UNLIKELY SO THAT HIS POWER CAN BE UNDENIABLE.
Our daily devotional is based on the story of Jesus choosing the Twelve. After a night of prayer on a mountain, Jesus handpicks twelve ordinary men to walk closely with Him, learn from Him, and eventually continue His mission. These men included fishermen, a tax collector, and even a future traitor—none of whom seemed likely candidates for spiritual leadership.

Scripture
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles.
Luke 6:13
Have you ever felt unqualified for something God placed on your heart?

Jesus spent the night in prayer before choosing His twelve disciples—ordinary men with no fame, power, or religious pedigree. Some were fishermen, one was a tax collector, and another would one day betray Him. Yet, these were the men God entrusted to spread the Gospel. Why? Because God values availability over ability. This story tells us something vital: you don’t have to meet the world’s standards to be used by God.

What areas of your life have you ruled out as unusable to God?

When Jesus chose the twelve, He wasn’t picking a dream team by worldly standards. He was selecting hearts He could shape, minds He could renew, and lives He could send. We often disqualify ourselves before God even speaks, thinking we’re too broken, too unknown, or too ordinary. But it’s precisely those qualities that open space for God’s glory to shine through us. In God’s hands, ordinary becomes powerful.

Are you waiting to feel “ready” before stepping into your calling?

This story is also a call to action. Just like the disciples, we are called to follow first, then be transformed. Following Jesus may take you out of your comfort zone, but it will place you in the center of God’s will. The Twelve remind us that anyone—yes, anyone—can be used by God if they’re willing to follow Him fully.

What does saying “yes” to Jesus look like in your life today?

LET YOUR ACHIEVEMENT POINT TO GOD'S GREATNESS NOT YOUR OWN.
Today’s daily devotional is based on the story of King Hezekiah, who was saved from death and granted an additional fifteen years of life. During his illness, Hezekiah fervently prayed, reminding God of his faithfulness. God answered by healing him through the prophet Isaiah. However, when Babylonian envoys came to visit, instead of glorifying God, Hezekiah proudly displayed Judah’s wealth. This act of pride would later lead to the downfall of his nation.

Scripture
And Hezekiah wept sore. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying........
2 Kings 20:3b-5a

King Hezekiah faced a similar situation. After pleading with God to spare his life, he received a miraculous healing and fifteen more years to live. This divine intervention was a testament to God's power and mercy.

However, when the Babylonian envoys came to congratulate him, Hezekiah made a critical mistake. Instead of using this opportunity to point to God's greatness, he showcased his own wealth and achievements.

How often do we miss chances to glorify God because we are too focused on impressing others?

Hezekiah's story serves as a poignant reminder of the perils of pride. While it's natural to feel proud of our blessings and achievements, it's crucial to remember that they ultimately come from God. When we turn the spotlight on ourselves, we risk overshadowing the very source of our blessings.

What are some ways you can ensure God remains at the center of your successes?

Hezekiah's prideful display had severe consequences. The wealth he flaunted to the Babylonians became a future target for their greed, leading to Judah’s downfall. This teaches us that our actions today can have long-lasting effects.

Today daily devotional is based on the story of King Hezekiah, who succeeded the wicked King Ahaz in Judah. Hezekiah restored the temple and the priesthood, leading the people of Judah in repentance and renewed faith, demonstrating the impact of righteous leadership.

Scripture
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.
2 Chronicles 29:2
Have you ever faced the challenge of breaking away from a negative legacy to establish a positive one?

King Hezekiah’s story is a powerful testament to the impact of godly leadership and unwavering faith. Despite the wicked reign of his father Ahaz, Hezekiah chose a path of righteousness, seeking to honor God in all his ways.

Why do you think Hezekiah was able to rise above his father’s influence and lead Judah back to God?

Hezekiah’s devotion to God was evident from the start of his reign. He immediately set about restoring the temple, which had been neglected and desecrated under Ahaz. He reinstituted the priesthood, ensuring that the spiritual leaders were in place to guide the people.

In what areas of your life do you need to break away from negative influences and seek a path of righteousness?

Hezekiah’s commitment to God and his bold actions led to a nationwide revival. The people of Judah followed his example, repenting and renewing their trust in God. This transformation was not just a surface-level change; it was a profound return to the core values of their faith.

Hezekiah’s story teaches us about the importance of faithful leadership and the power of sincere repentance. It shows that no matter what legacy we inherit, we have the choice to follow God’s path and inspire others to do the same.

HUMILITY PRESERVES WHAT WHAT ARROGANCE SEEKS TO DESTROY.
Our devotional is based on the story of King Uzziah and his reign over Judah. Despite starting faithfully under God’s guidance, he let pride lead to his downfall. His story teaches us about the dangers of arrogance. His son Jotham continued to restore Israel’s relationship with God, highlighting the importance of humility and continuous faithfulness.

Scripture
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
2 Chronicles 26:16
Have you ever started something with great intentions, only to lose your way due to pride or arrogance?

King Uzziah’s story is a poignant reminder of how easily success can lead us astray. At sixteen, Uzziah became king of Judah and immediately sought God’s wisdom, much like Solomon. His reliance on divine guidance brought prosperity and protection to Judah, earning him respect and admiration from neighboring nations.

Why do you think success often leads to pride?

Uzziah’s story shows that even the most faithful beginnings can be tarnished by arrogance. As Uzziah’s fame spread, so did his ego. In a grave act of pride, he entered the temple to burn incense, a duty reserved for priests. This transgression led to his downfall, as God struck him with leprosy, and he lived in isolation until his death.

In what ways do you struggle with pride, especially after achieving success?

Uzziah’s downfall teaches us the importance of humility and staying true to God’s commandments. It serves as a warning that no matter how successful or powerful we become, we must remember that our strength and wisdom come from God.

Despite Uzziah’s failure, his son Jotham succeeded him and worked to restore the nation’s relationship with God. Jotham’s reign was marked by obedience and humility, demonstrating that true leadership lies in continuous faithfulness to God.

LEADERSHIP IS NOT STANDING ALONE, ITS ABOUT STANDING TOGETHER IN CHRIST.
When was the last time you faced a leadership decision that left you feeling overwhelmed and alone?
Reflect on how you approach leadership or influence. Are you seeking God’s wisdom first or relying only on your skills and strategies? Set aside quiet time each morning to pray specifically for wisdom and strength. Invite the Holy Spirit to guide not just your big decisions, but also the small, everyday moments that shape your legacy. Remember: leadership that honors God starts in the heart and flourishes through community.
